True enough, the Silmarillion mentions Galadriel as the most beautiful of all the house of Finwe.

These quotes will do you no good as this thread is about who we think is the fairest. . .not who is described as being the most beautiful.

and you must not forget that beauty is a subjective thing. . . so even though Tolkien might say that Luthien (and Arwen) is fairest, it might not be the truth for everybody.

Gimli forgave Eomer of his words, but I do not think that he admited to Arwen being fairer. . . and neither will I !
